Went out to get cows this morning for milking. Look down in the dry lot and see one of my parks cross with a calf. The day just got worse other then the heat and humidity. Then next thing you know her sister stands up from behind a mound and out walks a claf with her too. Double ---- bad day. Worst of all they both truned out to be heifers to boot. One is a red and white parks the other is a black/grey holstein looking critter.
Pics later

Oh, you poor thing.

Please take the rest of the day off, to recover from the shock.

(congrats on the new girls!)

Man thats not good. We have a old herd here. Over the yrs been keeping heifers out of cows that mainly have heifers. Well our hefer to bulls is about 2 to 1 atleast. These parks crosses are mostly dairy by now. One still looks like a beefer but the other too have the slim lines of the holstein and jersey in them. Most of my other milk cows have had heifers this yr too. So far I have had only one little bull from a jersey cross.
